Hats off to the Wholesalers Association of the North East (WANE) for its out-of-the-box thinking, as ASA Executive Director Chris Murin told the crowd at the group’s mid-June Executive Leadership Conference in Cambridge, Mass.
WANE’s capstone presentation at the well-attended event was given by author and television host/producer Louis Ferrante. Those who watch the Discovery Channel may have seen the Ferrante-hosted show “Inside the Gangsters’ Code.” He’s also written a pair of books related to the subject of organized crime: “Unlocked” chronicles his time in prison and “Mob Rules” explains how the code of the mob and the values of that community can be a model for legitimate businesses.
